I cannot go past the 'align screen' setup!

Scaphs 4.20 is the 3rd ROM i have tried, and my phone will not align itself!!!!
I tap the target firmly and accurately like it blady tells me at each location 5 times, then the process just repeats itself!!
There is no dust or dirt on my screen.
What's next? Throw this phone against the wall?!

I suddenly have the same problem - no one else? My problem is more specific. Screen alignment seems normal until the 4th (last) corner is reached. Then no response x2. By third try it jumps back to center to start again - no way out!
I have reflashed to TMobile WM5 V2, Love, and several WM6 ROMS - all same issue. I can read my phone fine though active synch - al software is there ...
IS THE DIGITIZER GONE BAD - ? just in one corner? How can I be sure? Any way around the required align screen to test further? PLEASE HELP!

Same issue,follow here:

HELP!!!!!!!!!
My 8525 could not pass the alignment screen so I bought I new digitizer and I installed it and I still get the same thing. What else can it be???

Disable Touchflo.... that should work if you have that enabled. Also Transcriber WONT work with Touchflo enabled. Cheers

The Touchflo was never enabled on the phone. What else can it be???
thanks

Same thing happened to me last week. I did a hard-reset because I was having a different problem and then I couldn't get past the screen alignment. I brought it to an AT&T Device Support Center and they couldn't figure it out so they swapped it out for me

Stuck at align screen

Hello
i've got en elf but it is stuck at the align screen.
i searched the forum for many day's and i found out that the digitizer probably is broken.
So i bought an new one an installed it with this manual
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323
great manual by the way
I also installed a new housing
I installed one of the new roms
But it is still stuck on the align screen$
I have a constant loop
first middle cross, then the 4 corners and then back to the middle
i installed a program to override the align screen and then the i can use the phone but when i tap the touch screen it is not the place i tapped that opens because it is not aligned
What can i do because i am all out of answers
ps there is no warrenty anymore
Greetz Hatchy

it could be the touchscreen
LCD and touchscreen are not the same
some models heve them separated,some not
as i could see elf has
touchscreen pic1
LCD pic2
so try replacing the touchscreen they are few dollars on ebay

Or if you want, you can have somebody cook a ROM for you that bypasses the screen alignment part.

i doubt it's the software,because he said he tried some roms
and bypassing screen align can make phone unuseable,so....

Yea, but even though, he can still use the phone without the touch screen before he gets it replaced.

well if it was artemis...he could (arte has a mouse pointer)
but elf lacks the buttons,so using it without touch will be tricky

Hello
i replaced the touch screen because the old one had the same problems
but the new has the same problem

When your PPC is at the alignment part of the start up process simply plug it into your computer and let activesync run. You do not need to set up a partnership at this time to do this.
Explore your PPC and go to the windows folder and then to the startup folder and delete the welcome file in there.
Soft reset your PPC and you are good to go!
I had an IPAQ for years that had a bad spot in the middle of the screen and this is the only way I have found to bypass the alignment.

I am stuck on the align screen in a loop as well. What program did you write to skip the screen. I am not able to use the phone because of that. I am really terribly stuck. Please help. Thanks.

I hear placing a blank text file named "welcome" with the extension ".not" on the root of your SD card after hard resetting will bypass the Windows Mobile setup. And until you get your screen repaired (if ever) and if you have a working DPAD, then you can download a free, configurable mouse cursor here. Just go the the third post and click on the attachment I posted.

Well,
For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?

it works!!

Screen No Response but Occasional Response HELP

Hey I have an elf the T mobile version 64/128mb , phone has been working for 8 months now all of a sudden it wont respond but the call and end call buttons work fine the 4 way navigation key only work when lets say you go into the call records by pressing the green call button. You cannot do anything besides change time, answer calls and hang up. Please Help Tried hard reset soft reset, and the phone is unlocked to all networks using the network key method.

this looks a hardware problem may be the LCD or the digitizer

Is it fixable by software or maybe opening it up to fiddle ?

It is not the LCD, it is only the digitizer (the thing that is responsible for the 'touch') I recently had the same problem, until 1 week ago I purchased a new digitizer off eBay for $15.
Do not get LCD and Digitizer, just the digitizer to save money.
If there is no cracks or damage to the screen (bad cracks, pixel damage etc) you only need a digitizer.
I have a video I made of me changing mine which I'm editing atm. I do have photos.
This is the correct response. It is not software if it started to work occassionally and then stop, this is what happened to mine. 99% it is digitizer!

Thats cool please email me link [email protected] for your video I will order one now.

Hey I read its going to ttake 14 days for my digitizer to come , in the mean time is there a way I can bypass the touch the screen alignment page when you first boot up?

you can get www.mymobiler.com
Cheers.

Tried it but requires you to accept the installation on the phone any other ideas?

Thats weird, mine doesnt.
it will auto install.

It says on the little status box installing mymobile to the phone then it dissappears saying not connect. this message comes up everytime you try and run it.

Sorry, I ran out of brain juice.
You have to stick with this for a while than, and bear the bitter pill.
MyMobiler should be able to install onto the phone itself.
But I really wonder why this doesnt work.

Hey thanks anyway found this whiel browsing aroudn on the internet fixed the problem it aligns the screen for you http://216.139.221.18/downloads/mobile_speak_pocket/release/MSP_RemoteAlignment.zip

and it does auto install its the part where it asks you to accept remote.exe and you have to tap yes or no for it to run on your device, havent bypassed that yet but atleast I can just accept calls and check texts but let me know if you have a solution for the whole remote.exe thing

HELP! Touch screen no longer working!

This morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped working. Hardware keys are still working but device is not responding when the screen is touched. Already tried a hard reset but no success, now I am stuck at the align display screen. Also can no longer get to the bootmenu, so can't reflash my device! Any suggestions on what's wrong or how this can be fixed? Thanks for any help!!!!

I'm curious
Didn't you see any spots (like oil spots on the water) to the touch screen ?
I had the same problem .I replaced the touch screen and the phone is working again .

No, nothing, was working fine at night, when i woke up just randomly stopped working. The display is not cracked or anything, so wondering whether a screen replacement will do the trick? ALso strange that I can no longer get to the bootscreen to enter HardSPL...

Had the same problem, the issue (with mine anyhow) was the digitizer, which is an overlay that sits on top of the actual LCD screen to give it touch capability....
good post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392301&highlight=digitizer

I had a similar problem,
To get past the Align screen I had to apply pressure to the top of the screen opposite side of front facing camera - then use the screen as normal
I reflashed the original rom (manually getting to bootloader) - it worked for a bit but ended up sending is back to 02 for repair.
All they did apparently, was to reflash the ROM again and its been working since.

Had the same problem a couple of times a while ago, when i was trying out WM6.5.
All buttons worked but not the touch screen. Never really found out exactly what the problem was, but the first time I managed to get it working again by resetting the alignment:
While gps button pressed (under green button), press center D-pad button this will bring you to alignment screen.
The other time the "alignment trick" didn't work, but i got it working again, after flashing the original ROM couple of times. (And doing hard reset between each time)
I think I used this ROM
You say you can't get to the boot menu, do you run hard-SPL?

most likely its an hardware issue - had this one too, of course out of nowhere!
flash with original rom and if you cannot align screen (as the hardware seems to be broken) send it in for repair. it will be under guarantee, if screen isnt broken.

I had similar problem, I passed the alignment but i had a huge offset in the touch.
I replaced the touch screen and it solved the problem.
You can find it in ebay for 1 US $.

Thanks for all the help guys!!! I do run hard-SPL and have flashed many ROMS - just don't know why it won't enter the bootscreen anymore when I reset the device and press the camera button. Did manage to upload original ROM again by using activesync, now trying to restore original hard-SPL so I can send off the device for repair.

Hi, i had also the same problem, i find a threat in the internet... try to push the upper corners on the device with your fingers and then tab on the screen to see if the problem solved.

I had the same issue.
Its more than likely your digitizer. I tried flashing 100 different roms but always stuck at the align screen stage.
I actually have the barely used digitizer if anyone wants it (for a few dollars of course hehe) My mainboard died a couple of weeks after i installed the digitizer.
needless to say i moved away from the ****ty build quality of HTC to the MUCH better build quality of the iPhone.

My htc break down and make a strange thing.

Hi guys, some months ago my htc is fall by my jeans and it break down. So i've buyed an lcd by brando hk (the same that sell screen protector) an lcd with digitalizer. Ok the pack arrive, i replace the lcd and is perfect. Work every etc. I had used for 1 day and some hours.. The next day i tidy up, start the htc and ok. I put in standby by pressing the button on the top.. After some minutes i re-press that button for use it because i've received a sms and don't work. So i reboot the phone, and nothing. It is only the lcd that don't work, because the feedback vibration work, if i call my phone ring and etc etc. But i don't see nothing. So very very angry i shutdown the htc. The next day again i try to use it and make the same play. So i contact the brando hk and ask to send me another lcd + digitalizer. They ship to me. Arrive, i replace it again. I use that for 30minutes and after make the same problem -.-" again, and again, and again. Guys please help me, i want re-use my fabolous phone
I don't think that is a software problem, because i've changed different rom and make a lot of full reset.
Thanks anyway

Hi!
I have the same issue: a fall, but not on the LCD side.
As you, my blaskstone works fine (i verified with MyMobiler software), but, on the screen, nothing
After many search i found a strange thing:, my LCD works only when i launch from the phone (with MyMobiler), the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD (see HardSPL thread).
And, i saw the three colors screen, with a corrupted Model ID/DeviceID, it looks like ˆDB instead of BLAC100
So, you can try also the SSPL-Manual for confirm your LCD still works, and deviceID is correct.
Sylvain.

I don't have understand much man.. Can you explain me again, please?
My screen sometimes work.. Now i've also updated the rom with another one, thinking that is a software problem but nothing. 1 of 8-9 reboot i've seen the three colors screen! And now nothing.

Ok stop, i do everything and the manual hspl say:
BLAC100 MFG 32M MI-BC
1.07.OliNex XA
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6

Guys i've used the phone for 5 long minutes!!! That see isn't a problem of lcd
It work great!
